The Washington 10k Trail Run

I just made it to this run in Washington, Tyne and Wear. The night before I had done a disco in the Cheviot hills (Helthpool). Fortunately the father in law knocked on our door at 8:30 giving me the energy to jump out of bed and drive the 20 miles to the race in 30 minutes for its start. there was allot of dark wooded areas which meant my phone camera struggled to avoid blur. But check it out.
